A Cleveland Police Officer arrested for drunk driving in Summit County. [More]Was she armed? Let's take a moment for a little recent history lesson, shall we?
The OSHP has specifically asked that the provision that made it illegal for them to drive drunk, with a gun, be removed from HB347 before they would drop their opposition.Opposition?
Yeah, essentially to you and me being armed while sober.
I'm just not up enough on that nuanced exemption and the way they write these damn things to know if the objection was sustained. Anybody?

Just a question for David or another Ohioan who might see this. I occasionally drive through the Buckeye state and have an NC CHL, which is recognized in OH through reciprocity. The article refers to a requirement that concealed firearms in a motor vehicle be displayed openly, e.g., in a belt holster or similar. I can't find anything about this in Handgunlaw.us. Is this an actual requirement, or something OH had in the past that has now been superseded by new code? I'd hate to be arrested and charged over something like this.
Thanks!

Uh, why are the Legislature consulting any police agency for their blessing? The Legislature makes law. The police enforce law, whether they support them or not. Equal rights and responsibilities for all regardless of occupation should be the law of the land along with alignment with the U.S. Constitution. Paranoid delusions of police agencies or their sense of privilege should not influence any Legislature.
Roger J: Per the "Ohio's Concealed Carry Laws and License Application," issued under authority of Attorney General Mike Dewine, Revised 4/7/12, page 12, "The transportation in motor vehicles of loaded, concealed handguns by licensed permit holders is permitted."
Thanks David, for getting back to me on this!
